I'll be there with my push bike down in Queen Street and will join you guys briefly on one wheel while you ride through the CBD. I'll have to go to motomail to shop for some cool clothes just for the occasion.

Wana meet up and have a feed in town in the middle of it all?

[DEATH_INC.]

Bugga,prolly won't make it (no bb sitter....)maybe next time..

[T.I.E]

oh yeah i have the night off and it's a pay week.

the bike is a bit sick but i can't handle sitting at home watching everyone having fun.

just remind me and ill be there.

just need to know where and when?

and dam it gets dark and just after 6pm. so hell anytime is all good. but am worried about the ones with the 10pm restriction.

[crashe]

Bugga,prolly won't make it (no bb sitter....)maybe next time..

Let "Squirt" have a wee rest after school.... and then she can have a good sleep in the next morning.

She will be fine for one night.

Come on Draco and Death, it would be good to see you guys again.

Or Death you could childsit and Draco comes on the bike ride with us. :yes:

Mt Roskill - pretty close the intersection of Dominion Rd and Mt Albert Rd.

[RiderInBlack]

[pyrocam]

Mt Roskill - pretty close the intersection of Dominion Rd and Mt Albert Rd.
I was thinking, for the official start place.
the BP in Mt albert.
its big enough for us and close enough to where we want to go.

[aff-man]

Do you guys need a couple of big bores to join ya?

Big bores... pisshhhhhhhhhh. :devil2:

I wanna see that bus do a mono in 5th. Never seen it happen in the flesh. In any gear for that matter. :whistle: :whistle:





Or your bike can just sit around looking sexy and stuff :Punk:

[placidfemme]

Hey guys... Sorry to burst some bubbles... Sam and I are "unconfirmed" at this time. We are both keen to come... but from the looks of things at the mo' I'll be putting in a 60+ hour week next week :( so I dunno if I'll have the energy to get my A into G and come along... Also depends on if Sam gets her Rego next week or not...

I will confirm closer to the date

[johnsf1980]

Ill be there if my bike is all fixed up and roadworthy again by then :)

[FEINT]

If this is a CBD ride, where will you guys be starting from? Has a route been decided? It makes it easier with a time and route.. :D thank u....

[aff-man]

Well, bugger you lot we will go do our own thing :shake:

Hahahah no ... well.... hmmm...... i probably won't be up to anything either. Where are we going btw. Is it just a town cruise. (never done one and well i don't wee the point with all that traffic) or are we indeed goingsomewhere. I.e. have a start / destination etc ect ect??????

[Zapf]

me should be there... good to have a start and end point... with points in between... so people can join up at different parts..

hope its nice an warm like tonight with some cloud cover... or it'll be :cold:

[Gremlin]

I'm interested and it'll even be me burfday :Punk: , but what time would it end (being a partly... err... wholey good learner and all)?

[FROSTY]

exactly wot time is this thing gonna kick off--some of us will be fighting the rush hour traffic in our vans from the track day at pukie.
I think if I turned up on mella yella the cops muight just be a tadd pissed with me

as posted in the first post its under development but no-one is submitting any other idea's

at this stage we leave MT Albert BP at around 8, go up through the side of westy suburbs to get to then Westgate centre, down past whenuapai, into albany then up to brownsbay. follow east coast road till we get to milford and then go down hurstmere? basically down when all the bars are in taka.
then over the bridge and off into fanshawe. cos you cant get onto queen st going south we would cut up one road to get us onto it (like albert)
then up queen and upper queen. down ian mckinion and onto dominion road. all the way down dominion road then right onto mt albert road, down owairaka then down richardson road (I think it is) over the tracks and through an undescribed selection of roads to my house in MT Albert for food and beer. although I realized its going to be fucken cold at that time of night.

[crashe]

Pyrocam - that looks a good route..
Approx how many kms all up?

Maybe also set out a few 'spots' where people can join up, as the bikes do the route. ie; the north shore bunch, or some westies etc...

[FROSTY]

8pm--well now ya talkin--if I got me a bike ill be there

[raster]

Great, hope to be there.

good point.

im going to do a time and km's test now.

and yes there will be spots to pick up bikers on thw way. I was thinking westgate shell (I think its shell) first. then maybe somewhere in the middle of the shore like the mairangi bay carpark or something.

ill be back soon to let you know

Awwww what a good lad, going out in that horrible weather on the bike to check it all out for us...

[pyrocam]

Awwww what a good lad, going out in that horrible weather on the bike to check it all out for us...
yeah tell me about it. ok guys, lotsa socks are a good idea.

I left at 4:35pm
got to Shell at westate at 5:00pm (20kms)
got to Browns Bay at 5:26pm (41kms)
got to Takapuna at 5:43pm (52kms)
and I went up Queen St at 6:00pm (didnt record k's)
I guess I got back to mt albert around 6:20 - 6:25 ish


I have a detailed route in my head but Ill proberly write it up and PDF it with maps tomorow.

might need to leave ealier than 8 to accomadate those that want to get home before 10 and the traffic on a friday night


edit: times are rough, this happened which changed my speed a bit:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=15330

[crashe]

so what was the end total of kms all up?
from start to finish.

[pyrocam]

74.5k in total

[Gremlin]

cruise to party at Gremlins? :whistle:
wouldn't my parents be bemused by 20+ bikes suddenly turning up on a quite Friday night :yes:

I wouldn't mind if you promised there would be v-twins... :love: 'cept that nothing is really happening. You could go and piss off the hoons at Eastern beach :Punk:

[Gremlin]

:Offtopic: oh, back to topic.

I would probably join up at westgate, and peel off at Queen/Spahetti to head back out east. Still planning to come.

[FEINT]

Sounds like a plan, I might meet you all on the North Shore and cruise down from there. Browns bay is a good place to meet the shore guys.

[MagicMarker]

will be at brown's bay to meet if it's on

[justsomeguy]

74.5k in total

Jesus!!!!! That's a looooooooonng distance to keep it at city speeds.

If I do manage to get my bike fixed I look forward to it, will be a real struggle but I need the city riding......

Nearly ran Crashe off the road due to my stupid riding, worst thing was I didn't even know I did it. SORRY CRASHE.

BYO? ......

[johnny]

Im woking till 830pm so i think i can join up at Taapuna then off at around Greenlane or somewhere!! :ride:

[placidfemme]

Ok well I'e spoken to Sam and the boss... Looks like we might be coming along... Will proberly join up before Albany somewhere... then ride with ya up through Queen St, then we'll split and head home...

[swanman]

I am in. Anyone wannna meet up Albany?

[placidfemme]

I am in. Anyone wannna meet up Albany?

Where in Albany? Near Albany Village or near the MegaCentre? Cause Sam and I will be joining the ride from there...

[pyrocam]

BYO? ......
yessir pls.
It appears to be timed with the poorest point in the year for me (just paid off that $400 fine etc)

Meeting points.
1) BP Mt Albert
2) Shell WestGate
3) Albany MegaCentre Carpark (Outside BK)
4) Browns Bay Carpark by the pizza place formerly known as pizza hut
5) Takapuna (on the beach carparks, public toilets) or Berkley carpark and just bypass barrier arm
6) Dominion Road Foodtown
7) BP Mt Albert

Those are the best places me-reckons, but we dont need to stop at them all.

Im thinking about possibly shortening the ride justsomeguy, the westie part of if is mighty confusing and even I nearly went the wrong way even though its just one road.
I was planning on getting onto great north and just following it as it changes into swanson and dick burke (dick burke? I forget) then off on westgate, but to speed it up we could go straight up the North Western to Westgate and then along.
that would cut about 10km I guess? but It would be much faster.

what is traffic like on the shore at 8-9pm on a friday?

Don Buck Road....

Mate I know the road you are talking about...
Don Buck Road is a really nice road... has a few nice twistie bits in it...
It does take us straight up to Westgate...

Leave that part in.... maybe we can bypass Henderson main drag (shops and heaps of lights and interesting speed humps) and go around it... its just a little detour but we then end up back on the route again..

[placidfemme]

Traffic on the Shore isn't too bad at that time...

[pyrocam]

ta crashe

we have just had an offer.

some of our fellow KB'rs are having a drink in albany around the time we will be passing.

we could organise the ride to go there for a 'hello' and a drink if you feel so inclined but I wont be touching anything but non-alchoholic drinks etc.

but the longer we wait at the pub the less likely we will be to get up queen in time for L'rs to get home in time.

Im thinking we could just make the old albany pub the albany meetin point and spend maybe 30mins there. smoke, loo, snack whatever.

[placidfemme]

Which pub is that? The one opposite the Ave? Or the Tavern in the Park? Or is it in Albany MegaCentre?

MDU (Me), BJ, Swanman, Joni and possibly others are likely to be there. It's an open, yet incredibly casual invite... If you stop - cool!. If not I won't hold a grudge for too long :-)

Good luck with the weather to you all too

Old Albany Pub - opposite the Av I think. Quaint old pub, and we're aiming at being in the back bar...

ahhhh ok... Yeah I used to live in those apartments you can see on the Ave... The Old Albany Pub was our local watering hole... then they changed managment (My Director at work actually owns the The Old Albany Pub), so we moved to the Tav in the Park.... (no bosses watching you get on the piss lol)

Great scenery on Thursday nights too... I've errr "been told" :whistle: :yes:

[Motoracer]

Oh crap.... you sure you can't borrow one of your bosses bikes or sumsuch??

Ummm, I could come in quite a few diff bikes if I wanted to I'm sure but city riding ain't really my scene and anything bigger than an FXR150 and it'd be too dangerous to pull wheelies or do stupid shit around town. If anyone could lend me a FXR150, I'd be in for the whole thing but yea..

Soooo, I am choosing to wait for you guys in Queen St and just cruise along with you lot through town on my push bike. If you were stopping for a feed in town, that would be cool cause I'd be able to catch up with everyone then. Otherwise, it's no biggie, I'll just go to a mate's place afterwards.

It's a shame that you are going up Queen St and not down it, though... I can't do any high speed wheelies as it will be all up hill for me.

I'm looking forward to this and hopefully the weather will be good to us. :)

[ManDownUnder]

Hey Swannie,

If you're good to ride that night, what say a bunch of us start off at the old Albany Pub, then ride into Queen St with the crowd.

Just hold on to my rear grab handle and I'll tow you up doing 10-15 whatever kms...That's if I get my bearings done.

I HATE city riding with a vengeance but I've been told I need to learn to ride in those "50 K" areas.

Na, up to 55-60kmph is no worries. After that I really need to hold on to the bars with both hands cause the light little push bike gets a bit twitchy over bumps after that. I've done it with andrew before from New market to my house in Penrose. LOL

Cheers for offering to do it. You just have to be smooth and we'll be sweet! :) If the cops come, just say you don't know me and you didn't know someone was holding on to the back of your bike, so you won't get in trouble.

No worries? See you guys on Friday night!

OK. I understand what you mean. Will make sure that I keep a big eye out for anything. No point in doing anything funny when we are in a big group anyway as not all of us will be able to get away.:nono:


Will be getting the bearings done tomorrow. Looks like WT's trackday is a no go now:no: as I'm skinter than skint.

See the rest of you at Mt Albert.

Updated Ride Description.

please read and take a copy of the maps with you. a torch isnt a silly idea.

Its going to be difficult to guide everyone so please try to learn as much as you can. I need one person at the front and one at the back. If anyone wants to volunteer to lead that would be great, we will alternate.

REMEMBER: LEAVING the BP at 8:00PM SHARP

also all definates please advise me if your not on the list on the first post. Cheers.

[pyrocam]

lol. my proof readers didnt notice that the words

'dont drink and ride kids' next to a picture of a child MIGHT be considered an alternative meaning to what im actually getting at there.

im not.
dont drink and ride

Come on KB'ers anyone out there has a bike for the patron saint of KB??

[MagicMarker]

what time approximately would you guys reach the pizza place in brown's bay? any idea of what time we will reach the Bp in Mt. Albert at the end?

[pyrocam]

what time approximately would you guys reach the pizza place in brown's bay? any idea of what time we will reach the Bp in Mt. Albert at the end?

judging from my test ride which was 4:30 - 6:30 on a sunday arvo Im thinking we will be at Browns bay around 9 depending on how long we spend in albany.

you sure you dont want to meet us at the old albany pub and continue from there?

If we stop in Browns Bay I said the Brownzy so we dont have to spend to much time there. easier access carpark too.

Id like to leave earlier and if frosty cant come I might push it forward to Leaving at 7:30 if its ok with you guys

traffic on a friday night will mean we might be stuck behind cagers for ages.

[aff-man]

I am probably piking. Don't know what the bike situation will be and i have to be back for something and living out east don't help. If i am there i am there but probably not at this stage.. Have fun though :Punk:

Whats the total number of confirmed attendees now??

DELTEADED.

actually I think 6

small ride

good warm up to the 60 bike bonaza in the summer

abscene
is that where we lift up out gear and oil our bellies* up?

anyway, they get enough of that from the drunk people. even better, we see a drunkyard doing it and we all drop our bikes and run over there

'is this man bothering you mi'lady?'


*tummies? stomaches, guts, whatever

[pyrocam]

Six??? out of 2400???

Well, it's not really 2400 you know. F'rinstance, I'm 3 of those. Then there are some who lurk without being here, and some who have registered then evaporated.
So for all you know, there might only be six (6) real people on KB.

You're 3 of them?? :weird: ........

Well most of the KB ride regulars like myself hate riding in cities so maybe that's one reason.:ride:

Spot me the petrol and I'll be there.

[texmo]

So what time is the meet I have work at 9pm....

[NhuanH]

Spot me the petrol and I'll be there.
man, that's doin it tough if ya can't gas up a motobicycle. Lucky you're not back in the Lone Star state now with your 832-whatever cubic inch pick-ups doing 5mpg.

Maybe you should trade your 1100 for a GN250? You'll be able to "afford" hella more :ride:

That is quite possibly the most coherent statement about biking you've ever made!

[pyrocam]

Im 3 too.

so that makes justsomeguy the only Real member.
since my 'realness' is distributed although unevenly throughout those 3
one of which is quite possibly deleted.

but theres also the fact that not ALL Kiwibikers are in auckland allthough I forget that sometimes.

Gas is cheaper in Texas seeing as how we have our own oil wells. Was about $8NZD to fill my tank. It's almost $20NZD to fill now...

[pyrocam]

So what time is the meet I have work at 9pm....

where you working?

at my current calculations

leave MT Albert 7:30.
leave Albany 8:00-8:45
over the bridge 9:00 (with luck)

we might spend 15-30mins at the old albany pub


. also note the weather.

I dont want to do this ride in rain AGAIN
forcast atm is:

Thursday Some cloud 17° 10°
Friday Showers 17° 10°
Saturday Showers 16° 9°

[SixPackBack]

can anyone ride friday?

[Gremlin]

can anyone ride friday?
I'm not the organiser, but I'm 99% sure. No speeding, its a city night ride. Also trying to make it over before 10 for (L)osers like me...

Pyrocam: Will we be riding if it rains?? Forecast is for rain... I'm not fussed, I'm a communter, but it would make it a little miserable.

[raster]

The "O" key on my keyboard is missing. :rofl:

Hey, someone I can donate one of my pile of old keyboards to :weird:

[Zapf]

well unles I can scab a bike from someone Im OUT
no bike

I might have a CB400 you can scab :) PM me for details...

[Zapf]

me planning on being at BP :)

[pyrocam]

Yeah anyone can ride.

re the weather: If its RAINING then its not on, if it has rained but looks to be clearing then thats fine its on. if its spitting with the intent on letting up then its on.

I'd rather no ride in rain and especially with lots of new riders riding in the dark in the wet, I dont want anyone turning over a manhole and going rubberside sideways.

We don't wage unnecessary wars for oil while profiteering and misinform the public about everything though do we?

Whoops.

Hmm.. this ride is a little long for me, I'm trying to not fill up untill tuesday or so.

Have fun guys/girls.

BTW did anyone know if Jonny the guy on the VTR250 got home ok?

[T.I.E]

oh crap where were you "OKchk"?
johnny took a tumble all is good with him, the bike may need a little tlc.
so the stage from west to albany took a lot longer than expected.
and from there we had to speed things up.

but that was my first outing with KBers and what a crew won't be my last.
nice to meet up with you guys. and gals.

so when is the next trip out. and don't forget OKCHK this time.

sorry

[T.I.E]

Who changed plans?

BTW did anyone know if Jonny the guy on the VTR250 got home ok?

no idea about johnny. hope he was ok didn't like leaving him there waiting on the AA

[pyrocam]

AHAHHAHAHA

I got some random dude flying past

(ps. dont fucken post if you know who this is! im serious!)

ps. why not meet us at the other meeting points?





fake edit: actually there was someone I was meant to text when approaching taka. we spent too much time with COUGH COUGH COUGH and albany that we didnt do the shore, we only decided at 9:15 and im sorry I forgot to take your number with me

[FROSTY]

Johnnie is safe and sound on his way home now. His bike unfortunately not so sound took a little trip in Lil Toot (my race van) To Motohause for some TLC. It looks like he mighta stabbed his crankcase with the gearlever and jammed up the starter gear.
Sorry if I was a tadd impatient -A starving hungry frosty is a grumpy frosty

[johnny]

First of all... Thanks for everyone's help when i fall off on these chippy stone on the rodeside.... I dont really know all of ur names/login name(Please let me know u :yes: ) but Thanks again!!

I should've look more carefully before i try to stop at that point. Land on my thighbone which really really sore now and so as my toe at left foot.... :no:

After u guys left i rang up AA... the guy answered my call just gave me the towing company's phone number and tell me to ring them after i told him "my bike fall off" and then he saids "oh we dont do accident we only do breakdown". So i rang the towing company.... that guy sounds like just woke up by my call and suprise that i got his number especially from AA, and tell me he is not working now then gave me another 0800 number to call. And that number wasnt anwser by anyone then turn into fax...beeeeeeeeee
at that time i was wondering why i pay for AA membeship??

So i call up my cousin and try to usrjum leads to start it up but i didnt do aything good...then i rag up AA again.....This time this lady ask lots question but dint belive me that i really neds a tow o she just end a srvice car. and this guy is really nice, he try to start up the bike then found out there is some oil leaking so he decide to arrangea tow truck. At that moment someone ride towrds us and it was Mr Frosty :Punk: As soon as i saw Mr Frosty i knew i will be save by him!!! Mr Frosty, u r a life saver, i owe u one!!

Now the bike is out side MOTOHUS, got to go in there tomorrow get it fix up !!! :no:
BIG BIG BIG Thanks to u Frosty!!! u r the man!!

[SPman]

BIG BIG BIG Thanks to u Frosty!!! u r the man!!
Thats Tony - always willing to help, despite all the odds. :2thumbsup

Jeez - he didnt leave Albany til after 11 - he musta been knackered!

[raster]

Thanks to all who turned up and especially Pyro for all his work and Crashe for her guidence.

Good to hear you finally got home Johnny, Frosty's the Man. :woohoo:

I had a good time, had trouble keeping up at the end there though. :scooter:

Bike was overheating from time to time, otherwise didn't go too badly it's first week on the road. Anyone know where the thermostat is on the impulse.

[crashe]

Jonny - It was Nurse Draco that checked you all over...
It was her and I, that helped you get to your feet.
Garath D tried to get your bike going again with the help of a few other lads.

Glad that its now in the safe keeping of Motohaus to get it repaired.

Jonny - Take some 'Arnica' tablets that will take away the bruises, or put on some 'Arnica cream' where you are sore. You can get that stuff from a chemist or at some supermarkets.

Well the ride was all good bar for that 4x4 that I was stuck behind for ages...
Man that vehicle smokes heaps of black smoke... and it was all caught on film as well.

Trying to not loose anyone is the fun bit... especially for those that didn't know the area at all.

Hey guys it was great thinking to whoever it was that had their lights flashing to warn other road users to slow down... at the crash site.

We were greeted by heaps of KBers up the Albany pub...

Only a few of us left to head back to the city and continue on up Queen Street. Ran into Motoracer on his mountain bike and he accompanied us up the road.... we sent him on his way to a chorus of m/bike horns :woohoo:

Draco left us on the motorway to head home.
Slashwlyde left us top of Queen street.
Four of us went back to Pyrocams for sausages and drinks.

Frosty - what would we all do without you mate...
Well done.

[pyrocam]

Glad I did it.

Big Thanks to Crashe for suburb leadership skills, such a shocker that jonny went down, if you got the name of the person who you spoke to at AA the first time PM it to me and Ill have a shit at their boss (used to work there sorta)

everything I want to say about it looks like its already been posted.
:violin: :sherlock: :psst: :hbd: :hitcher: :woohoo: :spudflip:






PS:Im just editing up the video at work at ther moment. going to take a little while before the VCD is available if anyone wants it.
there also will be a divx version when I can find somewhere to put it

Thank u very much for leting me know who is who, Crashe!! sorry i did try to mention ur name ... but i dont know who/how to call u guys...Thank you Nurse Draco, Garath, again thank u Crashe,as well as all other people.

I went in to motohuse to see my bike and kerry this morning... he said nothing major is dameage but need to spend some time checking it out on the motor. :doh:

[Gremlin]

Zapf was the one who had his beeeeaaauuuutiful Gixxer set up with the hazards on.

Thanks to him also for accompanying me home in case some copper took exception to me being out at night. No problems tho.

On the whole, not a bad ride, except that the pub ruined the schedule for the ride. For me it was Highway to Westgate, westgate to pub, highway home :rofl:

[Zapf]

No worries Gremlin, you coming on the Coro ride tomorrow (Sunday)?

Johnny, glad to hear you are ok. don't be so brave to go where you eyes can not see next time :) you'll be fine then.... remember you are not driving a car.

Good to see everyone there too..

[Gremlin]

No worries Gremlin, you coming on the Coro ride tomorrow (Sunday)?
ummm.... lesseee, posting at midday... guess not.

nah, I thought I would build up my riding skills before going on a ride that far...

[R6_kid]

hey all, enjoyed the short ride that i was part of...

good to get out with a decent group of us on the road without hooliganising too much!

Bad luck for johnny... gravel is always a bitch unless your Mr Skid, or riding a dirt bike!

Sorry to those that had to suffer the wrath of my headlight beam, i knew it was i bit high, just not THAT high, will be addressing the problem shortly (thanks to slashwylde for pointing it out)

You might not have the right codecs for it. Ask Pyrocam for a link to the one you need and then download it. Have too many on my pc to be able to tell you wich one it needs.

[pyrocam]

s just you need a decodeer.
its called DIVX

google DIVX 5.0 for it
although techincally this proggy should work
http://hellninjacommando.com/defilerpak/

let me know if it works or not please

[Qkchk]

:oi-grr:

Don't worry about it catch you guys next time......

[placidfemme]

:( Sorry that I couldn't make it guys... Had a crappy weekend as my pay didn't go through... and cause Sam only got her Rego on Saturday...

Friday night looked like a choice night to ride on :(

Bummer to hear that Jonny came off... hope all is good now :)

Catch ya'll on the next ride!

[ManDownUnder]

I got to the pub expecting 4 or 5 people.. and there were... lilke... 20 or more... and then another 15 or so arrived from the ride and WOW!

Good to nearly meet you all - sorry I didn't get the chance to trade insults with too many of you but I guess that means we need to do more beer some time...!

MDU

[Damon]

Thanks for the great ride guys, it was good to get out and meet some of you, sorry about your off there Johnny and thatks to Pyro for setting it all up.

Cheers
